My dad's 56 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: from Nigeria, so like he's kind of foreign to the 57 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: whole football thing even to this day. But he knows 58 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: a lot more than a few years ago, for sure, 59 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: so he's definitely more invested now and then as for 60 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: just seeing if I like going hikes. When I was younger, 61 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: I used to go to this place called Grandfather Mountain. 62 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: It's not in Charlotte, I want to say, it's like 63 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 3: in Asheville, North Carolina or something like that, but that 64 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: was like a big spot for me, like going as 65 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: a kid and then getting a lot of merch from them. 66 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: It was one of those childhood memories like I never 67 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 3: forgot because I was like my first time ever going 68 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: like hiking, going to like the mountains for as a kid. 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: So that's definitely one of those childhood moments kind of 70 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: made me have a love for the mountains in nature. 71 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, really cool. 72 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: Tell me more about soccer, Malec Mustafa, who was your team, 73 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: what position did you play and what was soccer like? Like? 74 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so growing up, I really didn't watch soccer, but 75 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: I would say when the World Cup, whenever that was on, 76 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: that's when I really got invested into it. Obviously I 77 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: was supporting Nigeria when they were playing, but I also 78 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 3: have like my favorites. I like neymar a lot, like 79 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: the MESSI like the Ronaldo's, like the ibrahimovich Is, I 80 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: like Rooney, like the list goes on. Like I've always 81 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: liked those stars, so I kind of just try to 82 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: emulate my game after them whenever I did watch have 83 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: the opportunity to watch them play. So my dad was 84 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: really like my hardest trainer because he was so big 85 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: into soccer. I used to go out to my elementary 86 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: school soccer field, like on Sunday, you know, the parking 87 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: lots closed. He's moving the chains and the cone and 88 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: making us park I'm grabbing the cones loading them into 89 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: the car so we can use them for the soccer drills. 90 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: He's kicking the ball into the woods. He made me 91 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: go get it like it was. It was probably more 92 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: brutal training than I ever did for football. So that's 93 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: kind of I think where my hard work comes from, 94 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: for sure, because he kind of instilled that at a 95 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: young age. So yeah, definitely those moments is kind of 96 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: shape me into who I am today. 97 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: Oh wow, so you took it very seriously. 98 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, did you want to become a professional soccer player 99 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: or what was your dream and your aspiration as a child? 100 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely that was my that was my goal, 101 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: That's what I was my focus was on. And then 102 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 3: my mom introduced football to me. Even still I was 103 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: still more favorite to like soccer, but over time I 104 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: just really start I got better at football. I started 105 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: to enjoy football a lot more. And then I got 106 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 3: to a point where in high school, soccer and football 107 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: during the same season. So I was like, Okay, do 108 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: I play football and then do I do club soccer 109 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 3: in the spring or like? And it was like really 110 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: expensive for my family at the time, so I think 111 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 3: to just make it easier on everybody, I just chose football, 112 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: and then after a while, I think I made the 113 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: right decision. I think either or I think I would 114 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: have made it. 115 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, I'm going to be a pro football player. 116 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: It's just American football. 117 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 3: American football exactly. So nah, it was. It was definitely 118 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 3: a tough decision for sure. But I still miss it 119 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: to this day. But even when I still like when 120 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: I try to go to the Quakes games or whenever 121 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: they had one of the soccer games at the Levi Stadium, 122 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: I always trying to go to any games I can, 123 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 3: but definitely, for sure, like still has a place in 124 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: my heart. 125 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, the World Cup is coming here, so that'll be exciting. 126 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: I want to know more. 127 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: About your decision into playing football. Was it in high school? 128 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 3: You said, yeah, high school was definitely like the decision 129 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: where it's like, Okay, I'm gonna just go full through 130 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: out on football. 131 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: What made what weighed that decision to have you lean 132 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: that way because you were all in on soccer. 133 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think over time, I think it was a 134 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 3: lot of I had a lot more friends with football, 135 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 3: like I had friends with soccer, but a lot of 136 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 3: my home boys played football, So I think always just 137 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: being around them was just one of those key factors, 138 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: like just that bond time in itself. Definitely waiting on 139 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: my decision, and then when I did get the high school, 140 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 3: i'd even play like the position I thought I was 141 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: going to play. I thought I was gonna be a 142 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: running back, but then my mom was like, no, you 143 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: got to go on defense because that when I first 144 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: got there, a lot of guys was lining up for 145 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: the receivers and the running backs, all the offense positions, 146 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: so I didn't see a lot of people going to dB. 147 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: So I was like, if I want to play, I'm 148 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 3: gonna try to go on defense. And then it ended 149 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: up working itself out play defense ever since. So yeah, 150 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: I definitely made the right decision on that one. 151 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: You mentioned your your dad was your hardest trainer when 152 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: you were playing soccer. Would you say it switched a 153 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: little and your mom got really intense when it was 154 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: time to play football since she's a big football fan. 155 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she still is, like chill, She'll send me notes, clips, videos, 156 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: why before the week even starts her she does her 157 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: scout and report like shout out mom, But like i 158 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: I'm just like mom, just you know, take a step back, like, 159 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure my coaches got a good game plan 160 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: for us, but nah, she's fully invested. She knows a 161 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: lot more than a lot of moms.

I was using Frank Gore 180 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: a lot. I was like, Damn, I like Frank Gore. 181 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: So then afterwards just fell in love with it. Then, 182 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: I you know, as I was playing more football, I 183 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: was starting to watch football more, and I was really 184 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: just going on the trend, like you know what, I'm 185 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: just pick a team, and I was already kind of 186 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: had to set my relationship with an anyway anyway, So 187 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: I picked that.

It's a part 210 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: of your family culture. You've heard the trash talk, you've 211 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: heard the back and forth about the Cowboys and the Niners, 212 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: and now you're living it and you're literally making history 213 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: for the Niners.
